Standard operation

Calibrate the turbidimeter with StablCal
Calibrate the turbidimeter before it is used for the first time using the
®
StablCal sealed vial standards provided. As an alternative, calibration
can be done with recently prepared formazin standards.
Calibrate the turbidimeter at least every 3 months or as specified by the
regulating authority when data is used for ISO 7027 reporting.
Note: Unknown results may occur if standards other than the recommended
calibration points are used. The recommended calibration points (< 0.1, 20, 200,
1000, 4000 and 7500 NTU) provide the best calibration accuracy. Use of standards
other than StablCal, or user-prepared formazin, may result in less accurate

calibrations. The manufacturer cannot guarantee the performance of the instrument
if calibrated with co-polymer styrenedivinylbenzene beads or other suspensions.
Prepare the StablCal standards
When received and at intervals:
1. Clean the exterior surface of the StablCal vials with laboratory glass
cleaning detergent.
2. Rinse the vials with distilled or deionized water.
3. Dry the vials with a lint-free cloth.
Note: Never shake or invert the < 0.1 NTU standard. If the standard has been
mixed or shaken, do not move the vial for 15 minutes or more before using.
Note: Do not remove the caps from the sealed vials.
Make sure that the StablCal standards are at ambient instrument
temperature before use (and no greater than 40 °C (104 °F)).
Mix the standards before use:
1. Open the case lid. Remove the < 0.1 NTU standard from the plastic
case.
2. Leave the other standards in the case. Close the case lid.
3. Shake the case vigorously for at least 10 seconds.
4. Let the standards stand with no movement for 3–5 minutes before
use.
Calibration notes
• Make sure that the instrument is in the same ambient conditions as
where it is used.
• Make sure that the standards are at the same ambient temperature as
the instrument before use.
• Use only the provided silicone oil. This silicone oil has the same
refractive index as the vial glass and masks minor glass differences
and scratches.
• Store the oiling cloth in a plastic storage bag to keep the cloth clean.
• If power is lost during calibration, the new calibration data is lost and
the last calibration data is used. To exit a calibration and not save the
new values, push UNITS/Exit.
